• Conduct workflow analysis and propose efficient automation strategies that align with business goals
• Contribute to system monitoring, alerting, and observability
  Write clean, maintainable code with strong documentation and testing practices
• Frequently interface with end users, clinical stakeholders, and internal ops to understand problems and ship practical, production-grade solutions fast
• Stay current with industry best practices in test automation, DevOps, and healthcare tech

Required Qualifications

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, especially with non-technical stakeholders
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering
• Strong workflow/process mapping skills and attention to detail

• Expert programming skills in Python and Django
• Expertise in using Selenium and related tooling
• Experience with Kubernetes (deployment, scaling, monitoring)
• Experience working with AWS infrastructure
• Proficiency with PostgreSQL
• Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
• Comfortable working with REST APIs, browser dev tools, and debugging tools
• Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Sentry, Grafana, Prometheus)
• Prior exposure to health tech, PHI, or HIPAA-compliant systems

Preferred Qualifications

• JavaScript and VueJS experience
• Knowledge of performance/load testing tools
• Cloud experience with GCP or multi-cloud environments
• Experience working directly with customers (consulting, customer success, or support roles)
• Background in solution architecture, support engineering, or customer success
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies

Why Join Us

• Work across the full stack with high autonomy and ownership
• Shape infrastructure, automation, and process from the ground up
• Remote-first team with a kind, collaborative culture
• Mission-driven work improving patient care in real time
